Italian Grand Prix: Preview
This weekend’s Italian Grand Prix is round 14 of the 2021 Formula One World Championship, and it will be held at the renowned Monza circuit once again (officially Autodromo Nazionale Monza).
The Italian Grand Prix has been staged at the track just outside of Milan since the initial F1 season in 1950, with the exception of 1980, when the race was hosted at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola.
The configuration of the track consists of a succession of straights and some tight chicanes, with drivers generally spending more than 75 percent of the 3.6-mile lap at full throttle, producing the season’s fastest average speed and reaching more over 200 mph in no less than four parts.
